I am posting these photos mainly for the CRX guys so they can see the fiberglass fenders installed on the car. The good news for the EV guys following this blog is I am pretty much ready for BAR inspection and registration. It actually looks like a real working car now with all my, not so elegant, wiring covered up by the hood.
The fenders are still raw and unpainted, but overall the fit is great. I need to file down the u-shaped mounting point on the right fender since it sticks out a bit. See the 5th picture below. The front alignment of the left fender is is wacky, but not due to the fender. My headlight, side marker and the cross bar are a little jacked up over there, so there is a bit of a gap and the side marker sticks out some. See the last picture.

I need to call the DMV and/or the BAR referee to figure out what they inspect and get an appointment to get it inspected. Hopefully I can do that this week. I also need to get life insurance so my wife will feel better about the whole thing. I won't be working on the car next weekend, but should be back at it the weekend of the 26th.
Still many things to do once it is registered. Upgrade the rear springs. Upgrade the brakes. Add the vacuum braking system. Play with the controller settings. Install the meters. Clean everything up. Fix the leak in the windsheild. Look for any other leaks in the rear hatch area. Buy and install a lexan sheet to cover the rear battery boxes. Oh, I could keep going and going I guess.
